The top two teams in the Premier League this season are apparently ready to battle it out for the signature of Manchester United defender Luke Shaw.

The 21-year-old has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford since Jose Mourinho arrived over the summer and both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested in working out a deal for the England international.

Shaw joined the Red Devils from Southampton in the summer of 2014 for £28m, but he has struggled to get game time since suffering a horrific double leg break during his side's opening Champions League tie of last season.

Shaw has played the full 90 minutes in just eight games this season - four of which were in the league.

It remains to be seen whether or United would be willing to sell Shaw to a rival - and at just 21 years of age, the 2014 Golden Boy nominee still has plenty of time to reach his potential.

Spurs are interested in the left back as a replacement for Danny Rose, should the 26-year-old depart this summer.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's Antonio Conte has also identified Shaw as someone who could slot into his back three.
